ICD-10 Code F13.151 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.151 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations
What it is
This code identifies abuse of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs with a substance-induced psychotic disorder marked by hallucinations. Use it when the record links the psychosis directly to these drugs.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms should be documented, along with evidence that the sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use is causing the disorder.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents abuse of a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic and a resulting psychotic disorder with hallucinations. The note should clearly connect the mental status change to the substance use. If the record only shows use or intoxication without psychosis, choose a different code.
Do not use for
Do not use it for simple misuse, dependence, or withdrawal without psychosis. Check documentation if the hallucinations are better explained by another condition or another substance.
Coding tip
Code both the substance abuse and the induced psychotic disorder only when the documentation supports both parts.
